There are many issues that result because of gender inequalities in coaching. Some of these include whether it’s right to have men coaching women’s sports while there are no women coaching male sports such as football. Another issue may be whether or not men are really better coaches then women and what the reason for that would be. The third issue that results because of gender inequalities seen in coaching such as how far is too far for male coaches coaching females in sports.
The first thing I would like to talk about is whether it is right for men to coach women’s teams even if there are no women coaching male teams. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with this and I feel like the statistics back this up. To my knowledge there has never been a female athlete at a big time college that has complained that she wants a female coach. And to back this up, Geno Auriemma is one of the greatest coaches in women’s college basketball ever and he continues to get great recruits because girls want to play for him. However if females where to coach a men’s basketball team I doubt there would be many guys at UF that would be happy if some women came in and took Billy Donovan’s place because quite honestly it would be tough for her to do a good job simply because it’s a tougher much faster game then women’s basketball and its a lot easier to coach when you know how to play it.
The second reason I think that this is ok is because generally men are better coaches then women and the bottom line is that professional and college sports teams make money if they win so you want to find coaches who win. In no way am I saying that women don’t have the brain or the ability to be great coaches but generally growing up men spend a lot more time playing and studying the sport of their choice. I mean there aren’t near as many
